"a dream is a wish your heart makes"

To Annette 

“A dream is a wish your heart makes”

                                    Cinderella (1950)

hope died

in light

ten years ago

haunted

spirits

drift                 from                bodies

trapped

victim

a wish

a dream

in vain

drunken slurs

                                    we judge

dye walls purple

spare tires

 garages          

           

attached          tails of cars

                                    we judge

tales                 of         wishes

           

dreams unchanged

un-chased

maps give directions

which way to heaven?

can you            walk                 there?

are you free?

do you smile with God?

is your pain gone?

are there trees in heaven?

can you climb mountains without falling off?

do…

you better be careful

you won’t be able to dance any more

can you dance now?

can                   you                  dance?

can       you      dance?

I want to dance
